When a hardware issue happened as described by inline comments, the register write pattern looks like the following:
<write ~MACB_BIT(RE)> + wmb(); <write MACB_BIT(RE)> There might be a memory barrier between these two write operations, so add wmb to ensure an flip from 0 to 1 for NCR. Signed-off-by: Zumeng Chen <zumeng.c...@windriver.com> --- V2 changes: Add the same wmb for at91ether as well based on reviewer's suggestion.
